UTMB Spring 2010

Published

Hey guys Im making this thread so all of the applicants for UTMB Spring 2010 can follow each other through the process and help each other out! The application deadline is coming up soon! Goodluck to all!:nuke: I know they are only exepting 60 for the spring.

Ms. Sealy will you send it to me too? Either here or on that other site :-P Thanks!

I got CPR certified in April of this year, but the lady didn't sign one of the cards...so when I did my CNA at COM, they almost didn't take it. I'll talk to D about it, but I want to make sure I have an option if I DO have to take it again...

What are the other two class times then? I know somebody posted a couple of them... I don't think we'll know the clinical times for awhile.

i was only given those two classes because those are the classes we are attending friday january 8th..

so does that mean we automatically get some sort of financial aid?

Congratulations everyone on getting in this Spring!

I've been trying to go through everyone's previous posts to try to figure out what I should be doing. I have been going crazy looking through the website, but I can't seem to get everything together!

If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

1. What is our tentative class schedule? Are we attending all week long with one day of clinicals or is it just a couple days a week?

2. It seems like it is split half and half btwn everyone moving and staying. I live in the Houston area (Jersey Village) and can't decide if I should stay home and make the commute or get dorm on campus, rent, or get an apartment. I'd love to find a roommate if I do decide to move though!

3. When is financial aid due?! I know scholarship deadlines are up, but don't we have to wait til the end of the year to file FASFA?

I'm sure I'll come up with more! But I am sooo excited to be starting soon :) Hope to get to know everyone better!

emag,

I am relocating from DFW and have a couple of friends that live in the Houston area. Oddly enough, they live in or around the medical center. Realistically, how far would the commute be from there to Galveston? I am in the BACC2 program where all my classes are online, but will obviously have to come to campus for lab-type stuff. But like everyone else, I have heard a million different things about where our clinicals MIGHT be. I guess I am just wondering what your take on taking the gamble and moving to the med center is? Are you BACC2 or generic?

Does anyone else have an opinion? I need some input! Plus, I'm coming to town for ONE day next week to find a place. I need to narrow down places to look!! :eek:

I would say the drive between Galveston and the med center is about 45 minutes depending on traffic and whatever construction might be going on. I don't know how expensive it is to live around the medical center, but I would imagine that it is pretty pricey since it's downtown Houston and may not be as safe.

I received my financial aid stuff yesterday. I am getting a federal loan that amounts to about $6,000/semester. Once tuition and fees are taking out that only amounts to $2,000 for books/supplies/living per semester! I am looking into some private loans as well!
